Abstract
Techniques are provided for discharge of a universal serial bus voltage. A determination is made that the universal serial bus voltage has exceeded a threshold. Accordingly, initiation of a discharge operation is triggered to discharge the universal serial bus voltage. The discharge operation includes applying incrementally increasing voltage reference values according to a periodic interval to an amplifier until a discharge trigger point is reached. The amplifier outputs a voltage signal to a gate driver that controls a gate of a transistor that provides a discharge path for the universal serial bus voltage to discharge. In response to reaching the discharge trigger point, the incremental increasing of the voltage reference values applied to the amplifier is stopped.
